Benson Boone is a James Potter variant…

The Bear but it’s Sirius taking over Regulus’s restaurant after he dies and wanting to make it great. Remus is Syd who just wants to cook some fucking food but ends up roped in with the chaos of the Blacks (and falling for Sirius).

The Faks would be the Pettigrews but all the other characters are up in the air. James would be a good Richie, just altered a bit. James was best friends with Sirius but when he started traveling the world to escape his family, James felt too bad to leave Reg alone (making him take his death so much harder and Sirius resenting James for ‘picking’ reg over him). Lily is totally a Sugar character, just trying to keep everything together.

Sometimes I think I’m normal about this fandom and then other times I realize I went straight to the David Bowie section in a record shop and whispered ‘Remus Lupin and Sirius black’ to myself

[normal-about-fiction]

James Potter would be the most avid jorts wearer. He has some that are so long and baggy that they are basically jeans but he will die on the hill that they are jorts.

If you could tell from ‘Stars Around My Scars’ I like Taylor swift so here’s what I think the marauder’s (+ the Valkyries!!) fav albums would be!!

James - Fearless mixed with 1989

Peter - Debut, swears Beautiful Eyes will be the next re-record

Sirius - swears its Reputation but would actually die for speak now

Remus - evermore and TTPD, sad boy music all the way

Lily - Red and Folklore, loves listening to Fearless with James though

Mary - THE 1989 girlie

Marlene - Reputation with a PASSION

Does anyone know if there are any Whiplash marauder fics??? I did my annual rewatch so I now must consume any media about it

[normal-about-fiction]

I’m telling you everyone at hogwarts would eat Bridgerton up. Lily and Remus would love the history, Sirius and Marlene (ofc the skittles too) would eat the drama up. James would host watch parties because his favorite people love the show then he’d get roped into loving it. Peter would be the guy in the back googling every actor and watching interviews.

Ps: McGonagall giggling over the show over a cup of tea with pomfrey

[normal-about-fiction]

James would cry over the death of George Cooper

How the marauders play Minecraft:

Peter: He is a pro farmer for both crops and animals. He will literally learn how to build good just so he can have a nice barn and greenhouse. Catch him on a bad day and boom he built one of those huge mob farms.

James: REDSTONE this kid is redstone can’t tell me otherwise. He can watch all those complicated YouTube’s and just understands. He would also be the only one willing to play in all survival one life with Remus

Remus: Takes it so seriously. He’s about average for all the farming and building but he lovesss a good survival. He killed the end dragon at least ten times. Does like speed runs and knows the fastest way to get ahead. (Loves mining but will never admit it)

Sirius: BUILDER. He can make the most average building look incredibly but literally eats up hours on one corner. He’s definitely one of those kids that just minds straight down.

All in all, when they come together on the joint server it turns into the best world you’ve ever seen

[normal-about-fiction]

James and Severus the types of guys to start a rap battle and Severus drops an ass diss then James hits backs with ‘Meet the Gaunts’

I desperately wish people would start actually reading the AO3's TOS before confidently making 'user guides' to the AO3 that are just blatantly, flatly wrong.

Yes the AO3 has banned content. They do not allow anything that's illegal under US law - though US law, importantly, does not ban fictional depictions of things - and they do not allow any commercial content. That includes your ko-fi link, or mentions that you do fic commissions. If you do post fic commissions to AO3 and want to mention the commissioner, the fic is a 'request' from the commissioner. This protects the AO3 and you from copyright law.

No the AO3 is not 'a creative fanfiction archive'. It is a fandom archive. Your meta, insights, and theories are absolutely welcome and encouraged there. AO3 also encourages you to post other types of fanworks, like fan videos, podfics, and art, but unfortunately isn't able to natively host those like it does text, so fic has kind of become what it's known for. That absolutely does not mean that other types of fanwork aren't allowed, or are discouraged by the site culture! Anybody who tells you otherwise is just plain wrong!

A character can still be a great character without being a good person.

In fact, some of the best characters are terrible people.

Because a character’s worth should be based on how complex and interesting they are, not their morality if they were real.

Fanfic and the marauders have permanently altered my perception of love

[normal-about-fiction]

The Bolter = Remus Lupin

[normal-about-fiction]

Head cannon that all the marauders suck at chemistry!!! Every single one!!!! (I literally suck ass at chem and need to feel better shhhh)

[normal-about-fiction]

I went to Universal so ofc I had to get James and Remus’ wands!!! (I already had Sirius and didn’t have enough to also get Peter’s😭😭)

[normal-about-fiction]
